After all, a movie is a movie, it is much bolder than us, and almost zero probability in life can be staged in front of the screen.
Nola's death, in disbelief, was attributed to destiny. But in fact, it was an elaborate scam. Chris is safe and sound, as the title says: There are moments in a match when the ball hits the top of the net and for a split second it can go forward or fall back. With a little luck, it goes forward and U win, or maybe it doesn't , and U lose.
Seeing is believing. But now I understand that eyes are the biggest deception. Often we assume a coincidence, perhaps a deliberate layout. The truth that we often ignore may have the will of God.
Even if a building security bumped into Chris first, and then a police detective dreamed of his method of committing a crime, people's wisdom would be silent in the face of coincidence. God disposes...
And this time, God chose to let go of this cruel murderer who even his unrelated neighbors wanted to bury with him.
Everyone has selfish desires, and Chris would spare no expense to sweetly talk to Nola for temporary satisfaction, but when he really wanted to exchange his life, he was at a loss. Xiaosan is a tragic character, no matter how attractive it is, how much joy and restlessness it brings, or how splendidly she once lived, she is finally strangled by the throat in order not to affect the lives of others.
When watching this movie, there is no joy or sadness, only heart-wrenching, completely controlled by Chris's interpretation. For fear of being found cheating by Chloe, for fear of being caught by passers-by, he was lucky to escape even though there were many doubts.
But is he really unaffected?
As in Atonement, psychological guilt is more terrifying than serving time.
After making a mistake, people are always used to running away, but in fact, confrontation is far more refreshing than detour. And the days after Chris will live in deep self-blame and unable to extricate himself, even if the surface is calm.
Let self-deception torture all the lucky ones who escape.

    The essence of the last three minutes is worth recalling all the previous preparations

    Once a woman becomes hysterical and loses her lust, the man's patience is exhausted. All he wants is that sexy and charming, well-behaved, with some wanting to refuse you. For him, high power and money are the enemy. But love, let alone a passion that is quickly exhausted. At least, in the game of luck, he was lucky and cruel.
